GENERAL INFORMATION ESHG 2018 – Milan, Italy,16 – 19 June, 2018

Outside these corporate satellite slots, the organisation of social events (so only events with a social character) is allowed under strict conditions and only on Friday evening 15 June (as of 18.00 hrs) and on Sunday evening 17 June (as of 21.30 hrs) and with written permission from Rose International. Please contact Rose International for details. Note: not following these rules will result in exclusion to participate in the next conference, ESHG 2019.

Sponsor Programme and Advertising

ESHG 2018 offers an attractive range of sponsorship and advertising opportunities, giving considerable exposure before and during the conference. Sponsorship items include e.g. corporate satellite time slots during the conference programme, inserts in the conference bags, badges & lanyards, the conference signage in the MiCo, staff shirts poster boards, official coffee breaks and many more.

All advertising (also in and around the MiCo) and sponsoring for and during ESHG 2018 is exclusively handled by Rose International. If you have not yet received your copy of the Sponsor Programme, kindly contact Rose International.

ESHG Logo – use of logo by Exhibiting companies

It is allowed to use the official ESHG Logo to promote your presence at ESHG 2018. Please note that it is NOT allowed to use the official ESHG 2018 Banner, as used on the conference website. A special ESHG 2018 banner is created which can be used by exhibitors and sponsors. Please contact Rose International in case you want to receive the ESHG logo and/or ESHG 2018 banner for exhibitors/sponsors. It is important that the elements of the logo remain consistent. Do not attempt to redraw the lettering, branding elements or alter their relative position. Before reproducing the ESHG 2018 logo, a printing proof should be sent to Rose International for approval.

Compliance

The ESHG organises its meetings in compliance with the rules of EFPIA, Eucomed and EACCME with regards to sponsor involvement and recognition. Any (contractual) agreements in contradiction to these rules will be considered void. Remember that company compliance may differ from ESHG compliance.

All companies exhibiting at and/or sponsoring ESHG 2018 are advised to consult the guidelines and codes of practice applicable in Italy. By signing the relevant application form to participate in ESHG 2018, each company agrees to and confirms that it has reviewed the advice and guidelines which determine the applicable codes of practice in Italy and that it will be adhering to all relevant codes and accepts all liability in all cases of non-compliance with these codes (such as EFPIA, MedTech Europe, IFPMA).

Note: In Italy each pharmaceutical company sponsoring a meeting or a congress on topics in anyway related to the use of their own pharmaceutical products, must submit to the competent Unit of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) an application to obtain a specific authorization. This rule will in most of the cases not apply since most exhibitors will not have and/or promote any pharmaceutical product (products WITH Marketing Authorisation) related to the topics of ESHG.

However, in case this rule does apply to your participation in ESHG 2018 in Milan, you have to inform Rose International accordingly. Please note that in all cases, the registration remains the responsibility of the company itself.

Literature and Give Aways – Free Literature Table

Distribution of literature and give-aways is not permitted outside the exhibitor’s stand (art. 3.4 of Rose International General Conditions). Any literature found outside exhibitors stands will be trashed.

It is however allowed to display exhibitors material (1 item per exhibitor), in reasonable quantities, on the Free Literature table, section Company Information, in the exhibition area (location to be determined). Please help to keep the table neat and tidy.

Emergency Telephone Numbers

In case of an emergency (fire, medical, etc.) in MiCo call the following central emergency number: +39 02 4342 7210 (internal number: 7210).

In case of an emergency during your stay in Milan (outside MiCo) you can call the emergency hotline 112 (when every second counts).

Also take note of the safety regulations, which you will find in the MiCo Technical Regulations Book – available online: https://www.micomilano.it/Downloads/Technical_Regulations_MiCo_english.pdf.

Technical Specifications

Below are important technical specifications related to (the use of) your exhibit space, the standard stand construction package, and the exhibition area in general.

Building height and how to use your exhibit space

Stand walls must be 2.50 m high exactly, not lower, not higher, measured from the floor of the hall, not from e.g. a raised or technical floor.

It is not allowed to use the walls of neighbouring stands, each stand must have its own walls, finished to the satisfaction of the organisers.

In-line stands should have side and back walls measuring the full depth, width and height (2.50 m) of the rented stand space.

Head stands should have a back wall covering the full width and height (2.50 m) of the stand. Partly closed side walls are advisable in order to hide e.g. the backside, and wires of spotlights, of a display system in the stand. Contact Rose International for advice.

Corner stands must have two back walls over the full depth and height (2.50 m) of the stand.

Pillars The pillars in the exhibition hall will be covered by stand construction walls. (please see the recent floor plan on the ESHG website: https://2018.eshg.org/index.php/exhibition.

Objects in stands Displays in stands

For objects higher than 2.50 m permission is required from Rose International. These higher objects should be placed at a minimum distance of 0.75 m inward from the stand front, side and back lines or walls.

If you intend to bring a display system (e.g. pop-up display) to put in your stand, please inform Rose International of the measurements (height x width in m) so we can check if the display will fit. For spotlights on your system: also see below, Plugs, sockets and adapters.

Floor material exhibition area

The exhibition hall has a spheroidal quartz floor. Aisles will be carpeted and carpet in the stands is mandatory.

Carpet in stands All stand floors must be carpeted. Carpet for the standard stand construction stands is included in the package (go to page 22 for instructions on how to indicate your choice of colour).

At some stand locations connections can come from the floor or ceiling. Also see important information and instructions on page 23, Section 3.

Plugs, sockets and adapters

Regular European plugs and sockets (Schuko) are used in Italy. Adapters (e.g. UK to European) can be ordered through the online portal of A-booth.

Suspensions/ Rigging

The height of the hall allows for suspensions and rigging in most areas. Please contact Rose International well in advance if you have any plans for suspensions over your stand. These need careful planning (build-up time is limited!) and the approval of Rose International before 29 March 2018. All costs involved in rigging/suspensions will be for the exhibitor.

Exhibitors who lose, or forget to bring to the congress centre, their badge (Exhibitor Conference or Exhibits Only badge) will be able to buy an Exhibits Only badge at a fee of EURO 95.00 per badge, or an Exhibitor Conference Badge (for exhibiting company staff only) at a fee, i.e. EURO 250.00. Badge preparation on-site will cause a delay in accessing the exhibition and conference levels. Badges will not be re-issued, under any circumstances.

Changes and Cancellations – Exhibitor Conference and Exhibits Only Badges

Personal names for the badges may be changed free of charge before 1 June 2018.

After 1 June (so also on-site) there is a charge of EURO 20.00 excl. VAT for each change. Payment on-site when collecting the badges.

Cancelled badges will not be refunded at any time and remain payable in full.

Conference Registrations for Exhibitor’s guests

Exhibitor’s guests, who wish to be registered as a full/regular participant of the conference should be registered on-line at https://2018.eshg.org/index.php/myconference/registration/. Reduced rates available until 31 March 2018, after this date, until 1 May 2018, the regular rate is applied. After 1 May and on-site the late fee will apply.

Access during Build-up & Break-down

MiCo Staff passes for build-up are required for all persons (so also for exhibitors with an Exhibitor Conference or Exhibits Only badge) working during build-up on Thursday 14 June and breakdown.

In addition to these passes, all persons need to bring their identification, i.e. their official company badge or passport. During build-up on Thursday 14 June 2018 (design stands only), the usage of IPD (e.g. safety shoes, helmet etc.) is mandatory for all staff of the stand builder accessing the exhibition hall. Note: exhibitor staff of design stands is allowed access to the exhibition hall from 16.00 – 19.00 hrs on Thursday 14 June 2018, due to safety reasons. In case they need earlier access, also for exhibitor staff the usage of IPD is mandatory. This rule does not apply on Friday 15 June 2018, since there will be no construction work taking place.

The use of forklift trucks and other motorized and lifting equipment in the exhibition hall by other parties than Valverde is not allowed. See Section 4 for shipping instructions, tariff, order form and packing list.

Important aspects for your shipping:

Carefully note arrival deadlines on page 29 in Section 4, these are crucial.

Do not send any goods directly to the MiCo; these will not be accepted.

Courier shipments should be avoided. If courier shipment cannot be avoided, we advise to go through Valverde (see instructions in Section 4, page 30).

Make sure that your company staff at the stand in Milan bring with them: 1. Copies of all freight documents issued at the point of departure of your goods. 2. Full contact details, including mobile phone, of your contact at the freight forwarder who

shipped your goods to Milan.

These documents and contact details are needed if your goods have not arrived in Milan in time. Valverde will only be able to help search for your goods if your company staff can give them these documents and contact details.

Remember that exhibit installation is restricted to Friday 15 June 2018.

Storage of Empties Exclusive supplier – Section 4

Empties (carton boxes, crates, boxes of display systems etc.) may not remain in your booth, behind the booth or in the aisles. Neither may these be stored in an office in MiCo, in case you rented one of these rooms from Rose International. Contact Valverde for handling and storage of your empties. Remember that aisles should be cleared of all empties etc. on Friday 15 June at 16.30 hrs.

Sound, Lighting & Special Effects

Written consent is required from Rose International for the use of audio, video and lighting equipment, live music and performances on the stand.

“Special effects” lighting, smoke machines and laser projection may not be used in the stands, as they are disruptive for neighbouring stands.

Provided that permission is obtained for sound equipment in the stand, the sound must be regulated and directed into the booth so that it does not disturb neighbouring exhibits and their visitors.

In case you plan (scheduled) presentations on the stand with sound amplification, make sure to get permission from Rose International before making any arrangements.

Goods not Allowed The following materials, equipment, goods are not permitted in the congress centre:

Easily inflammable or explosive substances, gases and dangerous goods, including radioactive and chemical substances. In particular, Ethylene oxide, carbon disulphide, sulphuric ether and acetone.

Goods or appliances which cause a nuisance by virtue of smell, sound, light or in any other way.

Demonstrations & Promotional Activities

All demonstrations, interviews etc. must be confined to the limits of the exhibit space.

Do not place a demonstration area or device on the aisle lines of your stand.

Leave space within your own exhibition space to absorb the visitors.

Rose International reserves the right to determine at what point promotional activities interfere with the interests of other exhibitors and/or the visitors, and therefore must be discontinued.

Payment Policy

Payment for products/services ordered should be settled directly with Rose International or the relevant (official) supplier as applicable. All payments should be settled before the start of the build-up period, taking into consideration the payment date as stated on the individual invoices. Not complying with this regulation will cause delay in your build-up procedures, because Rose International does not allow move-in of exhibits until all financial obligations have been fulfilled.

If payment on-site cannot be avoided, then make sure that, at the beginning of the build-up, a member of your crew is authorised to take care of the payment (cash or credit card). All on-site orders should be paid in EURO with credit card, or in cash.

Insurance Policy

Rose International cannot accept any liability for damage, loss, theft, disappearance or injury of anything or anybody due to any cause. The exhibitor and the contractors he may employ are obliged to take out insurance against third party risks before the start of the exhibition. The costs of these insurances are for the exhibitor’s account.

Instructions

Exhibitors are obliged to follow the instructions given by or on behalf of the organisers regarding build-up procedures, safety and general appearance of the exhibition, advertising, goods or objects on display, decoration and dismantling procedures (General Conditions Rose International, art. 3.1).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DESIGN STANDS ESHG 2018 – Milan, Italy,16 – 19 June, 2018

46

INSTRUCTIONS FOR Design Stands – SECTION 6

Exhibitors building their own stand must comply with the following additional regulations & instructions: Design stands (exhibitors building their own stand) need the approval of Rose International.

Therefore Rose International needs to be informed if exhibitors use the package of standard stand construction, or build their own stand, before 29 March 2018. Use Form 2 in Section 5, page 36.

Stand walls should be finished on both sides; it is not allowed to use the walls of neighbouring stands.

The sight on/of neighbouring stands may not be hindered. The overriding principle for the design of all stands is transparency. All open sides of the stand must be freely accessible; this means that at least 80% of aisle sides must remain open and may not be closed or obstructed by e.g. walls.

The building height of the stand (walls) should be 2.50 m exactly, measured from the floor of the hall (not measured from a raised floor!); permission to build higher is required from Rose International.

Stands with a platform/raised floor higher than 2 cm, on which visitors are permitted, must have an 0.80 m wide access ramp with a slope of 2 - 8%. The ramp must be integrated in the stand design within the allotted floor space.

The layout of a stand may not hide the general safety signs indicating the location of (emergency) exits. Fire extinguisher and related material may not be hidden or obstructed. This includes fire hose cabinets, glass breaking instruments and emergency (wall) phones.

White lettering on a green background is strictly forbidden; it is reserved for general safety signs.

All stands must be carpeted; use only removable tape; leave no tape behind after dismantling and ensure to leave the floor without any pieces or traces of tape.

Stand lights are compulsory.

Each exhibitor receives a basic electricity connection of 2 kW + 2 sockets + consumption as part of their exhibit space package. See page 23 for how to order more power. Note: Non-Italian exhibitors that install the (additional) electrical systems themselves or make use of a Non-Italian Company must seek the co-operation of a qualified Italian Company at their own expense. For details see the Technical Regulations of MiCo.

Objects in a stand which are higher than 2.50 m should be placed at a minimum distance of 0.75 m inward from the stand front, side and back lines or walls; for objects higher than 2.50 m permission is required from Rose International.

Suspension/rigging is possible in part of the hall considering the height, but build-up time is limited and permission is required from Rose International for any suspensions/rigging; all costs involved are for the exhibitor; contact Rose International well before 29 March 2018 if you plan any suspensions.

No sawing and painting allowed in the exhibition hall; bring ready-made materials. This is, in the first place, to ensure that aisles, surrounding stands and carpet in poster and catering areas (already in place during build-up!) are kept clean. Secondly, build-up time is very limited and all building/construction works should be finished on Thursday 14 June before 19.00 hrs. No construction works whatsoever will be allowed on Friday 15 June, and all construction materials, tools, packaging etc. must be taken out of the exhibition hall before 19.00 hrs on Thursday 14 June.

Stand contractors have to comply with Italian safety regulations as regards materials used for and in the stand. Fire resistance category for materials and stand fitting needs to be provided through the mandatory SICU form, available on the online portal of MiCo. The completed SICU form needs to be returned to MiCo by all exhibitors building their own stand. Note: Original documentation has to be submitted to the MiCo Exhibitor’s Service Desk on-site when the design stand is ready and before Friday 15 June 2018 at 17.00 hrs.

Stands larger then 50m² must have a fire extinguisher on the stand (see Technical Regulations of MiCo). These can be ordered online via MiCo.

For build-up and dismantling schedules: see Section 2, page 10 – 11. Remember to agree, in writing, with Rose International, on your construction works on Thursday 14 June 2018.

During build-up on Thursday 14 June 2018, the usage of IPD (e.g. safety shoes, helmet etc) is mandatory for all staff of the stand builder accessing the exhibition hall. Note: exhibitor staff is allowed access to the exhibition hall from 16.00 – 19.00 hrs on Thursday 14 June 2018, due to safety reasons. In case they need earlier access, also for exhibitor staff the usage of IPD is mandatory.
